Title: Viola Davis and Julia Roberts to star in "Small Great Things"
Post by: Corporate Cannibal. on February 03, 2017, 02:27:04 PM
QuoteThe novel?s story follows Ruth Jefferson, a veteran African America delivery nurse at a Connecticut hospital who is assigned to a new case, only to find out the that the patient?s parents are white supremacists who don?t want Ruth to touch their child. The hospital complies with their request, but the next day, the baby goes into cardiac distress while Ruth is alone in the nursery. Does she obey orders or does she intervene? She chooses the latter, saving the baby, which violates an order, and she is charged with a serious crime. Kennedy McQuarrie, a white public defender, takes her case.

it's a lack of originality, but it's also studios not wanting to lose money. I'm sure there are screenwriters that depict black people as equals in their scripts, but they probably ain't gettin greenlit. They wanna perpetuate the black struggle because they know it's popular  :dead:

even more sad when we think we're being done a favor when these white CEOs send these struggle stories into production, over the many Black Panther pieces that came before them. we don't NEED to see racism in film, because no one's ever going to understand the other side of racism. it's pretty much a general consensus that it's wrong. How many ways can filmmakers spin that? :uhh:

They only way niggers are acknowledged for Awards is if their portraying being oppressed by the white man  :dead:

That narrative needs to change. These movies are not making whites any less racist  or sympathetic towards blacks. These white directors just wanna make money  :overit:
